adam conover and mad up adocke talk about the theme of this month's show, poky may. They also share their plans for a summer tour that will see them perform stand-up in cities all over the country. And they get to talking with an expert from around the world who shares his knowledge on mental illness.

Desperate Remedies author Andrew Scull joins Adam to explain why, on the way touching on the history of lobotomization, the collapse of psychoanalysis, and why our current regime of pharmaceutical intervention might not be all it’s cracked up to be.
